The New York Tribune of the 9th inst.
devotes considerable space On its editorial
pages TO a review Of the first two years OF
President Cleyeland' administration. The
Tribnne's review occupies nearly two
pages. In its editorial summary it says:
President Cleveland has removed, sus-
nenae.l. add called fox more designations
OF more public officials of admitted worth
and fitness, than any other president in
American hi~toly. Even Andrew john
sou, when he betrayed the party by which
he was elected, and strove 10 break 1t
down by the use of bis patronage, made
fewer changes in two years than Presl-
dent Cleveland has male. An unavold-
able consequence Of such haste in select
ing $4,000 men untried in pubilc service
is that many unworthy persons have been
chosen, but the number of mistakes made
by President Cleveland are surprising,
and many are peculiarly offensive. The
record of facts must be examined In de-
tail in order to appreciate now greatly
the character OF the government has
changed, since President Arthur went
out of office with the respect alike OF
friends and foes.

one-half of tie cost of the circuit court is
chargeable to the criminal jurisdiction,
and that the county judges salary OF

GEN. BRAGG distinguished himself as
a friend Of the soldiers by the following
piece of vitupeIa:ion and SANDER in
speaking on the dependent pension bill:
No staff commissary can even excite
me. [ am speaking tor what [ consider
the soldiers interests. The largest Grand
Army post 10 my state yesterday voted
not TO ask members of congress to go
against the president. It is only the class
of gentlemen who hang around the Grand
Army posts who crowd themselves in to
get SIS week and to live upon their
comrades who are making this grand hue
and cry. The soldier prefers to stand by
his record and asks not that congress
shall mark him as beggar. He wants
to have it understood that be is in private
life, as he was in the army, soldier
fighting for the maintenance OF the Union,
loving his country and not asking to be
supported by il. Why, look at the effect.
The Confederate soldiers, without hope,
are toiling, Gay ~ day, and exhibiting
a thrift, Industry and energy never ex-
pected Of them, while the Northern man,
the independent, self-reliant, the indus
trious, the energetic the enterprising, lags
behind into idleness. Why? Because
he is waiting for his stipend to come from
the government. and when that stipend
comes il is spent quickly and it he comes
from a poorhouse he lapses back into that
position and waits for another stipend.
Humanity only needs to be encouraged
to do nothing. We are liable to drop into
a do-nothing policy if we can get some
body to support US, and it is not good
public policy for us to legislate to encour-
age vagabondism whether among our sol
diers or citizens.

How to Get Bid Of Mourning.

1t would, of course, only provoke o
storm of righteous Indignation to hint
that the reason for 50 much gloom on
the occasion of a death is that in the
stress of affection the Christian faith
fails him, and that, for the time, the
giories Of the world beyond seem to
vanish. Yet if this passionate mourn
ing, which, instead of being hidden in
the depths of the heart, is obtruded
upon the notice Of every passer-by,
how shall it be made to harmonic
with the belief that the good who die
are infinitely happier than they were
before? To don the sable weeds of
mourning because some one we love
has been promoted from this world of
PAIN and temptation TO an eternity OF
peace is. to say the least, strangely
inconsistent; while to tell all the world
that, despite our loved ones immeasur-
able gain, we can only think of our
own loss, is to proclaim our selhshness
with j. frankuess that is as unworthy as
it is unnecessary. In this matter of
crape-wearing it would seem that the
older countries might, with advantage,
sit at the feet of Australia and New
Zealand and learn from these young
colonies a lesson of which the former
are much in need. In both those coun-
tries the announcement of a death, in
the press, is often followed by these
significant words; by the wish of the
deceased his relatives will not wear
mourning And this suggests a still
more eiiicacious method OF abolishing
the practice. As the world well knows,
there are no injunctions so scrupuIous-
" obeyen as those which rich testators
lay upon the recipients of their bounty.
Let it then become the rule that among
the clauses of every will shall be in
cluded one cnjoining the Iegatees to
wear no Grape, on pain of forfeiture OF
their bequests, and the reign of Grape
will soon be ended.-F'or1m.

He Wanted Watermelon.

A lady who has honored the editor
by chatting with him for an hour told
him, among other things, some anec-
dotes of the noble red men who. in the
days of her grandmother, still fingered,
a forlorn and broken remnant, in the
upper valleys of the Kennebec River.
The feature of civilization to which
these half tanned savages seem to have
taken most kindly was begging, and
numberless were the requests which
they protfered, in wheedling tone and
with suppliant manner, 10 the white
brothers who dwelt in undisputed pos
session of the land once owned by the
dusky ancestors of the petitioners.
cone of the things which they begged
for worst" the lady said, was for
grandfather's fruit. Especially did one
old Indian plead: 'Eenemost water,
no quite water; eenemost pumpkin, no
quite pum~kin; berry much we want
him. But what did he mean?" the
editor asked stupidity. The lady laugh
ed. If you were darky," she an
swered, you would soon guess" And
then the hearer divined that the noble
savage hankered for watermelon.-B0s-

They Were Kind to the Fish.

There were four ladies once went fish
ing. They selected very rainy day,
and they had all their waterproof cloaks
and head and feet covering. They
were all by themselves when they took
a boat and went to fish. 1t was in
Maine. With true feminine earnest
ness they started off without anything
to put the fish in. They had an ele-
giant time until they caught pickerel.
When they caught the pickerel they
didn't know what to do with it. 1t was
alive and topping They had it in the
bottom of the boat. They wondered
why it didn't lie quiet At last a
happy and benign thought struck one
of them.
Poor thing! It's getting all wet
lying in the rain"
And she whipped off her waterproof
and wrapped it up in it. Each of the
four caught a pickerel, and each of the
four wrapped it up in her waterproof
and the rain wet them through to the
skin, but they kept their fish dry all
the same.-!San Francisco Chronicle.

Queer Coasting in Madeira.

There is a church at Funchal, nearly
two thousand feet above the level of
the sea. George determined to visit it
the next time he was allowed to 90
ashore. Accompanied by his friend,
ride up the hill. After some delay in
making bargain, they were seated in
their saddles. Each horse was attend
ed by a "bUrriquejrO, or horsebOy,
and as soon as they were ready each
6trTiquejr0 seized the tail of his horse,
and shouted little Portuguese COM
mand. Away they went at brisk
pace, the boys following. Coming to
a comparatively level place in the
road, they struck into run, trying to
see if they could shake these boys off.
They did not succeed, for the little fel-
lows clung to the horses tails, and
never thought of letting 90 or giving
up. 1t was nearly three miles to the
church by the way they went, and in
some places the road was so steep that
there were steps cut for the horses to
place their feet. The horses walked
up very rapidly, and in little more than
half an hour were at the church.
They sent their horses back to the
stables, for they were to 90 down in
quite different way. The view from
the church steps comprises all the town,
the harbor, and the broad Atlantic.
But George was too much excited at
the thought of descending the hill to
care much about the view, and he hur-
ried his friend to the sledge-stand near
by. Here he selected his sledge,
which is made Of willow, stoutly braced
ard placed on runners. With one at
tendant on each side and one behind,
every one holding on with a leathern
thong in his hand, the sledge was
started. They dashed down the steep
way as boy slides downhill in winter,
and the sl1illful attendants guided the
sledge, no matter how fast it went,
with dexterity that has often sur
prised older and more experienced
travellers than George. Down they
went with fearful rapidity, turning
corners without upsetting, but with
long slides to leeward, always going
on, with many an exclamation from
George. who could not feel quite safe
while flying at so furious a rate. In
nine minutes they were at the foot of
the hill, more than two miles from the
church.
George thought that this beat all the
sliding downhill that he had ever i'm
agined, and he would gladly have walk
ed back for the sake of another slide if
he could have found any one to go
with him,-D. H. Triton, IN 81. NtcHo-
